Yes, in that brief moment, all fear, temperance and reason had left her as if she was suffused with only mindless, instinctive fury when she rushed towards him with her dagger knife.
Despite his illness and weakened appearance, the Emperor was tightening her wrist with surprising strength and enough to hurt her. "Do you want to kill me while my guards are standing right behind these doors? Good joke, Empress!" Akishino spat.
But, she laughed hysterically.
"Last time, let go or I'll call the guards and I'll order your arrest and beheading."
Yes, she had laughed hysterically knowing that his decision was not to have her in this instant arrested for high treason for he planned to steal everything from her and to exile her to die slowly in a monastery far away.
